Vinyl Revival?

Over the past year or so there have been plenty of "Vinyl is back!" articles. It's nothing new though, this article is from the May 1996 issue of Jazz Times (click on image to view full article - 4 pages). The likes of Michael Cuscuna and Bob Koester share their thoughts on jazz vinyl in the mid-90s. As for me, I only have a dozen or so LPs (albums that are yet to be reissued) that made the journey with me to Chicago. I left the turntable behind and haven't replaced it just yet. Even without a turntable I still fight the urge when I hit the record stores. It's probably for the best.... at least my bank balance thanks me for trying.
